Oh dear Mr. Walt Whitman! I hope you are resting in peace. But believe me, if you ever met Neil Degrasse Tyson, you would never write this poem. Inspired by that "learned astronomer" , you would even write poems about all those proofs, figures, columnes, charts and diagrams! Because he would make you love them all! Now that you are no more made of flesh and bones, it must be easy for you to make your way to the Hayden Planetarium in New York.Give it? a chance Mr. Whitman!
